First up on this bowl Wednesday doubleheader is the Northrop-Grumman-sponsored Military Bowl, starring Air Force (which makes sense) and...Toledo (which I suppose makes sense because they're Rockets). I should warn you that rooting for Toledo means you are anti-American.

Next up is the Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl, featuring Cal and Texas, two schools associated with prominent athletes who leave school early (like Vince Young and geometry whiz Jason Kidd). A commitment to education, indeed. Perhaps in "Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl," "Education" is modifying "Holiday"? Yeah, that would make more sense.

Jesus christ, this is a bunch of overly-patriotic, jingoistic tripe. Not only do I have to watch this pathetic game but I have to sit through a bunch of thank our troops during every commercial kind of shit.

I've held the b'o'wl fort down so far today. Now I have to get cleaned up and go with Mrs Dusty and MDIL to a musical tonight (White Christmas). I asked why we couldn't go to Black Christmas and she just scowled at me. Oh yeah, this is going to be a fun night.
